The Hunter's Crossbow has long been rather underused; my idea would be to incorporate a new high level hunter monster that will award a degradable attachment on the hunter's crossbow that would would give the crossbow +10% ranged harm and accuracy when hunting slayer monsters. The item itself is a chance drop off from the new hunter monster that may also drop a new ammunition for 07 Rs Gold that bow that would have a ranged strength bonus similar to that of steel bolts at +64.
Total Stats of Kebbit Trapper's Crossbow:
Created With: Hunter's Crossbow and Thin Kebbit Skull
Ranged Accuracy- +55
Slayer Bonuses- +10% Ranged Strength/Accuracy (Item)
Level Requirements- 75 Ranged
*Note- Would be able to use Kebbit Bolts in addition to Long Kebbit Bolts
Stats of New Bolts (Quilled Kebbit Mounting bolts):
Ranged Strength- +64
Level Requirements- 50 Ranged
Other Possibility- Add broad bolt tricks to the bolts (Extensive Kebbit Bolts)
1. Ranged strength- +82
2. Level Requirements- 55 Slay/Range
3. Max Hit (W/o Prayer, on task, w/pot): 35

Level Requirements- 79 Finder and 42 Slayer
Catch Requirements- Slayer Gloves, to prevent damage from your quills
Zone- Picastor's Hunter Place, in the new section West in the primary hunter area
Catch Rate- ~250 each hour at level 99
EXP Rate- 500 for every monster, at 125k per hour or so
Crossbow Attachment Drop Charge (Narrow Kebbit Cranium)- 1/256, or roughly 1 by the hour
Crossbow Attachment Charges- 2500
Bolts per Monster Captured (Kebbit Quills)- 10
Fletching Requirements- Add Feathers, creates Kebbit Quill Mounting bolts
Fletching EXP Rate: 4 per bolt, at 40 for 10 fletched during a period
*Note- Profit per hour should be less then that connected with chinchompas.
I am open to be able to additional ideas and I am hoping all you hunter/slayer fanatics would offer your suggestions! Thank you!
